Susceptibility of Zirconium Alloys to Delayed Hydrogen Cracking
Author: JFR Ambler
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Crack initiation
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
Smooth and notched cantilever beams and round-notched bars were machined from pressure tubes of cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb and Zircaloy-2. They were loaded in the temperature range 290 to 520 K. After two thermal cycles and at high stress, cracks were initiated in smooth beams of cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb. Under the same test conditions, cold-worked Zircaloy-2 plastically deformed with no cracking. When notches were present, cracks propagated at the same rate in both materials by delayed hydrogen cracking. In cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb, the crack velocity followed an Arrhenius plot with an apparent activation energy of 42 kJ/mol. Below 420 K, the threshold stress intensity factor for delayed hydrogen cracking was about 5 MPa m. Therefore, cracking can be prevented by keeping tensile stresses very low.

The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components
Author: Manfred P. Puls
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447141954
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
By drawing together the current theoretical and experimental understanding of the phenomena of delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in zirconium alloys, The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components: Delayed Hydride Cracking provides a detailed explanation focusing on the properties of hydrogen and hydrides in these alloys. Whilst the emphasis lies on zirconium alloys, the combination of both the empirical and mechanistic approaches creates a solid understanding that can also be applied to other hydride forming metals. This up-to-date reference focuses on documented research surrounding DHC, including current methodologies for design and assessment of the results of periodic in-service inspections of pressure tubes in nuclear reactors. Emphasis is placed on showing how our understanding of DHC is supported by progress in general understanding of such broad fields as the study of hysteresis associated with first order phase transformations, phase relationships in coherent crystalline metallic solids, the physics of point and line defects, diffusion of substitutional and interstitial atoms in crystalline solids, and continuum fracture and solid mechanics. Furthermore, an account of current methodologies is given illustrating how such understanding of hydrogen, hydrides and DHC in zirconium alloys underpins these methodologies for assessments of real life cases in the Canadian nuclear industry. The all-encompassing approach makes The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Component: Delayed Hydride Cracking an ideal reference source for students, researchers and industry professionals alike.

Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry
Author: Gerry D. Moan
Publisher: ASTM International
ISBN: 0803128959
Category : Nuclear fuel claddings
Languages : en
Pages : 891
Book Description
Annotation The 41 papers of this proceedings volume were first presented at the 13th symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry held in Annecy, France in June of 2001. Many of the papers are devoted to material related issues, corrosion and hydriding behavior, in-reactor studies, and the behavior and properties of Zr alloys used in storing spent fuel. Some papers report on studies of second phase particles, irradiation creep and growth, and material performance during loss of coolant and reactivity initiated accidents.
